Disney basically confirmed what we already figured. Starting the summer of 2015 we will get a new star wars film a summer. We knew this already based on what they said about taking a page out of the marvel cinematic universe roadmap.

Just announced – Batman: Arkham origins will be hitting consoles everywhere in the fall.

The game will take place chronologically before Arkham City and Arkham Asylum and will focus on a “young, unrefined’ Batman as he battles many of his foes for the first time. The cover, posted below, also features the series villain Deathstroke, who has yet to appear in an Arkham series game.

(3ds vita) Blackgate will be a “completely separate experience” taking place after the events of Origins. The game is in development with Armature Studio and will be a 2.5D Metroid-style exploration game.

Edgar Wright tweets that he directed one shot from a big upcoming film this summer. Then after many tweets in response he said well some of you got it right. The guess is he has shot the after credits scene for Iron Man 3, presumably we will get to see Ant-Man.

The White House dismissed the alien bodyguards as too costly in this era of budgetary austerity. “I can’t confirm the claims made in this video, but any alleged program to guard the president with aliens or robots would likely have to be scaled back or eliminated in the sequester,” Caitlin Hayden, the chief spokeswoman for the National Security Council, e-mails Danger Room. “I’d refer you to the Secret Service or Area 51 for more details.” That didn’t seem like a denial….
